Abstract

Methods and systems are proposed for transmitting data from a source to a destination via a relay station having multiple antennae. The relay station receives from the source a message containing the data and a first cyclic prefix. It does this using each of its antennae, so producing multiple respective received signals. In certain embodiments, the relay station removes the first cyclic prefix from the received signals, replacing it with a new one. In other embodiments, the relay station removes only a portion of the first cyclic prefix. In either case, the relay station may apply space-time coding to generate second signals, which it transmits to the destination, which extracts the data. Methods are also proposed for estimating parameters of the channel, to enable the destination to decode the data.

This patent application relates to the use of a cyclical first code, while other patent applications relate to techniques for spatial time coding. The techniques described in the respective patent applications of the two patent applications are independent, as any one may be used without the other, however it is equally possible to construct a combination of the respective patents from the two patent applications. The system of application technology. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Wireless relays have been shown to be used to extend communication range and provide a good quality of experience. In a typical communication system that uses relays, the relay station will be time shared between different sources and destinations. In this case, the relay station needs to estimate the angular carrier frequency offset (ACFO) present between each pair of sources and the relay antenna (also indicated by ACFO). The ACFO (represented by ACFO first) present between each pair of relay and destination antennas will be compensated at the destination. Joint compensation from source to relay and relay to destination ACFO is not available in the previous 3 201034418 technology. Thus, the long-term compensation from the source to the relay ACF can only be guessed at the relay station. The prior art _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ It also has the limitation that the transmission channel must be flat fading. This is because inter-code interference (ISI) is generated when the transmission channel has frequency selective fading. The insertion cycle first code (CP) can be used to mitigate ISI. The cyclic first code should preferably have a length greater than the length of the channel impulse response (CIR). A typical implementation of ASTC also requires that the samples in the signal be reordered as the encoding is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an implementation The method of looping the first code and compensating for the channel response of the wireless communication channel, which solves at least one of the problems in the prior art and/or provides a useful choice for the public. C SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION J SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A wireless communication channel is transmitted from a source to a destination by transmitting data from one of the plurality of antennas. The relay station receives the data from the source and the first The message of the first code. The relay station uses each of its antennas to complete the reception, thus generating a plurality of separately received signals. In the first aspect of the invention, the relay station removes the first cycle first code from the received signal, using the new cycle first code Instead of the loop first code, in the second aspect of the invention, the relay station only removes a portion of the first loop first code. In either case, the relay station can apply spatial time coding to generate the first k 201034418 relay station. The first signals are transmitted to the destination of the subject. The s1 of the month of the month is related to the estimated channel parameters to make the destination information available. The present invention can be selectively represented as being matched. An integrated circuit of the above-described level of the present invention. The cyclical first code architecture of the present invention does not require that the transmission channel be flat fading. The drawings are briefly described by way of example only, and the embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication channel having one source station s, a relay station R, and a destination station D according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is based on an exemplary embodiment A flowchart of an architecture for inserting a loop first code of a first code architecture 1; FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an architecture for inserting a loop first code of a first code architecture 2 according to one of the exemplary embodiments; 4 is a flow chart of a method for performing channel estimation according to an exemplary embodiment. t Real package mode] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a communication channel according to an exemplary embodiment. The channel consists of a source station/node 110(S), a relay station 120(R), and a destination station/node 130(D). The source and destination each have only one antenna and the relay station 120 has two antennas 122, 124. The antennas at the source station/node 11〇, the relay station 5 201034418 120, and the destination station/node ι3〇 can be combined to both transmit and receive. Source 110 sends a signal to relay station 12, and relay station 120 sends a signal to destination 130. The signals transmitted from source 110 to relay station 12 and from relay station 120 to destination 130 may include multiple orthogonal carrier frequencies, such as where OFDM modulation is used. This embodiment includes only one relay station 12A. An ASTC split-pass architecture is applied using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (〇FDM) modulation at source 11〇. During two consecutive OFDM symbol periods, ASTC codes are applied to the respective carriers. Relay station 120 receives the OFDM signal using two antennas 122,124. It performs simple analog processing of the received signal (such as sampling and storing discrete time signals) and performs encoding. This encoding may for example be a 2X2 Alamouti encoding. The encoded signal is then transmitted to the destination node/station 13〇. In order to avoid interference, the transmission from the source node/station 110 to the destination node/station 13〇 occurs in two phases. Thus the transmission period consists of two phases. In the first phase, the link from the source node/station 11 to the relay station 12〇 is initiated, while the destination node/station 130 remains silent. In the second phase, the link of the relay station 12 to the destination node/station 130 is initiated and the source node/station 11 remains silent. The simulation of this embodiment is implemented using 16 carriers in each OFDM signal. However, this does not limit the number of carriers to 16, and readers with ordinary knowledge will understand that the number of carriers can be different. Alternate embodiments may also apply the ASTC split transfer architecture to a Single Carrier Cyclic First Code (SC-CP) system, where ASTC encoding is also applied to individual symbols on two consecutive SC-CP blocks. Alternative embodiments may also have more than two antennas at the relay station ,0, in 201034418. In this case, antenna selection may be employed. Only two antennas are selected to implement the proposed architecture based on predefined selection criteria (e.g., optimal product channel SNR, etc.). Alternative embodiments may also have multiple relays that relay selections may be performed, with one of the relays being selected to implement the proposed architecture based on a predefined selection criterion (e.g., optimal product channel SNR, etc.). Alternative embodiments may also have multiple relay stations, where coordination delays ASTC^ are implemented at each relay station and coordination delays are applied at different relay stations. In this case, the delay period applied by the different relay stations is a design parameter obtained from the central control. This embodiment may have the advantage that the carrier frequency does not have to be orthogonal so that signal collisions will not occur. Alternative embodiments may also have only one antenna at relay station 120. In this case, one solution is to perform cooperative work using at least two relay substations, each of which is a relay station that can perform information communication with other relay substations. The information channel is implemented between at least two of the relay substations and thus the two fewer relay substations can participate in the ASTC transmission. The angular carrier frequency offset (ACFO) makes the number of carriers W. The channels from source 110 to relay 120 and relay 120 to destination 130 are assumed to be frequency selective multipath fading channels. Let the vectors hs, 1 & hs, 2 denote the channel impulse response (CIR) from the source 110 to the first to second antennas 122, IN of the relay station 12, respectively. Both 115, 1 and 1182 have the size of (L; xl). Similarly, the vectors hu and 匕 are represented as C111 from the first and second antennas 122, 124 of the relay station 120 to the destination 13A, respectively. Both Vd and h2, D have a size of (L2xl). Let f〇, fr, and 7 respectively 7 201034418 be the carrier frequency of the local oscillator at source 110, relay station 120, and destination 130. Then, Mr=f〇-fr and the CFO of the relay 12〇 and the destination 130 are indicated. Source 110, relay station 12, and destination 13A may have separate local oscillators such that their oscillation frequencies need not be the same. This causes the relay station 120 and the destination 13 to receive independent signals in the signal, i.e., Af#Afd. The angular CFO (ACFO) is defined as: Φ, =~{^Γ)τ which also represents the ACFO present on the channel between the source 110 and any of the antennas 122, 124 of the relay station 12, and a represents the presence at the relay station. ACF〇 on the channel between any of the antennas 122, 124 and the destination 130. Γ indicates the period of the OFDM symbol. The scalars ~=(Δ/)Γ and ~=(ΔΛ)Γ are called normalized CFOs, and their magnitudes are limited by μ>〇.5 and |£#〇5. The ACFO may also and/or may be estimated during channel estimation and used to perform compensation at the relay station 120 or at the destination 130. The joint ACFO compensation can be performed at the destination 130, in which case the ACFO compensation needs to be not completed at the relay station 120. This means that the compensation (also + also) is done at destination 130. If the CFOs present in the received signals at the relay station 120 and the destination 130 are not properly compensated, the gain due to the split transfer and the use of OFDM modulation cannot be achieved. It is advantageous when the joint ACFO compensation is completed at the destination 130 because 201034418 maintains the relay carrier frequency for which it is not affected by any source and destination pair. It is also advantageous when the joint ACFO compensation is completed at the destination 13 because it simplifies the implementation of the relay station 120 and reduces computational complexity at the relay station 120.

At step 212, for those elements of the YR that require signal commons (eg, for y2i, R and y22, R), the OFDM symbol sequence is reordered using a mapping function ((.): C(a) = [a (iV-l), a(7V-2), ···, α(0)]τ,

By storing the signal samples in a shift register and then reading the registers in reverse order, this function can be easily implemented with hardware. This represents a significant advantage because more complex reverse reordering operations (such as inserting, deleting, and exchanging signal samples) do not necessarily need to be completed.

At step 309, in order to perform spatial time coding at the carrier level, processing is performed. The matrix YR is calculated and arranged: yii, /? yn, R 1 ΓΛ, 1, 2η _yn, R y 22, R _ = Έ - U_

在步驟310,針對不需要信號共軛之YR的那些元素(例 如:針對yu,R及yi2,R),不需要做什麼。 在步驟312,對於需要信號共輛之YR的那些元素(例 如:針對y2i,R及y22,R),來自各自匕的OFDM符元序列使用 映射函數((.)被重新排序: C(a) = [a(iV — l),a(iV — 2), · · · , α(0)]τ, (TVxl)輸入向量ΑΤ = [ή(⑼,β(1),.··,ί/(τν-1)]τ。透過將信號樣本儲存 在一移位寄存器中而後以反順序讀取該寄存器,此函數可 用硬體被容易地實施。 20 201034418 從而映射函數((_)可被重新表示為: ζ{α{η))=α(Ν -n-l) 其中α(«)表示OFDM符元序列α的第„個符元。而後_時域信 號共軛在每一重新排序符元Γ(α⑻)上被執行,其中 «=0...

At step 312, for those elements of the YR that require signal commons (eg, for y2i, R and y22, R), the OFDM symbol sequences from the respective frames are reordered using a mapping function ((.): C(a) = [a(iV - l), a(iV - 2), · · · , α(0)]τ, (TVxl) input vector ΑΤ = [ή((9),β(1),.··, ί/ (τν-1)]τ. By storing the signal samples in a shift register and then reading the registers in reverse order, this function can be easily implemented with hardware. 20 201034418 Thus the mapping function ((_) can be re Expressed as: ζ{α{η))=α(Ν -nl) where α(«) represents the „th symbol of the OFDM symbol sequence α. Then the _time domain signal is conjugated in each reordering symbolΓ (α(8)) is executed, where «=0... A^-l. Let 6 = ((a).

The first code architecture 2 may have the advantage that only analog domain processing needs to be done at the relay, and only linear processing needs to be done for maximum likelihood decoding for each carrier at the destination. It is superior to the prior art because the relay station does not have to perform time sharing between different sources and destinations. In the prior art 'when the joint ACFO compensation at the destination is not completed, the relay station will need to target each pair of sources and purposes. Estimate and compensate ACFO. This may complicate the relay station hardware and may increase the computational complexity required by the relay station. 201034418 Channel Estimated Channel Estimation The actual information is transmitted according to the method shown in the flowchart of Figure 2 or Figure 3. Previously performed. The purpose of the channel estimation is to obtain a set of Channel State Information (CSI) parameters for decoding the signals received at the destination, and optionally at the relay station or destination compensation angle.

A pilot symbol pair consisting of [χ2„χ2η+1] is transmitted from the source during two symbol intervals. The leading symbol is defined as A» = a χϋίΐ+ι = where α is a (Wxl) vector, such that |α(〇| = 1, where ί=0, 1,..., iV-l and α have a low peak to average power value ratio (PAPR). η represents the data transmission cycle index. The estimate of the ACFO table at the relay station is Step 410, the ACFO table is estimated to be executed at the relay station for the loop first code architecture 1 or 2. Assuming the known value of the pilot symbol [12 „\211+1], the ACFO table at the relay station can be easily estimated as the CP architecture 1 : I = ^(~TR.1.2nrH.U2n+l) + + —— 2(iV + F) ......................
